Definition: Climbers are plants that climb on their own. Some climbers, such as wisteria plants are "twining" vines; they wind their way around supports. Other climbers climb by using tendrils or some other method (such as the adventitious roots known as "holdfasts"). Climbers are often supplied with arbors upon which to climb. Vine plants can be subdivided into the general categories of climbers and creepers.
